2025 Victoria Fringe Festival

Join us at the 39th annual Victoria Fringe Festival! Whether this is your first time Fringe-ing or your 30th, we are glad you're joining us for 12 days of madcap fun this summer! The website, tickets and programs launch on August 1 - stay tuned. The 2025 Fringe kicks off with the Fringe Eve Preview, a free outdoor event on Wednesday August 20 in Market Square, where nearly every show in the festival takes to the stage with a 2 minute preview (it’s like a movie trailer, but live!). Nearly 30 shows takeover venues across the city from Thursday August 21 through Sunday August 31. FringeKids is our two day min-fest running over the first weekend of the Fringe, in partnership with Kaleidoscope Theatre for Young People, it is packed with interactive activities, story time, and performances for ages 3+. Part of the fun of the Victoria Fringe is the Pick of the Fringe Awards, where audience vote for their favourite shows across multiple categories, and the favourite shows are announced at the closing night party and Pick of the Fringe Awards.
